KU seems to always pull out a Big 12 championship or Big 12 Tourney Championship in the end, so it really isn't that surprising.

They question now is HOW are going to do against NON Big 12 Teams... They have shown a history of choking when it counts (last year being the exception)

Karlin is majoring in himself?

I tend to repeat repeat repeat things too, after having a couple refills refills. As soon as I get looking, it's time to go home (by myself, thank you very much)
